There are several tell-tale signs that it is a bootleg, namely that there is no "official" complete series boxset among the most obvious.

Even still, it's somewhat disappointing that this got passed Amazon. Then again, many of their people aren't aware of the Chinese bootleg market.

The Amazon retail website in the United States has removed its listing for the bootlegged version of the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Sailor Stars anime series. Amazon had listed this unauthorized item for half a year as "Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: The Complete Official Boxset." After ANN's first news piece and reader feedback, Amazon then changed the listing's title to "Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: The Complete Bootlegged Boxset" last week before removing it entirely Monday.

but i'm sure you know that already from ANN

Ha! I'd heard they removed it, but to even still regard it as a "complete bootlegged boxset" before taking it down is hilarious.

Damn, what a world.

Yeah, I bought Cowboy Bebop "The Complete Remix" or something like that off Amazon. Three discs, the entire series, for $20. Its totally a bootleg.

Heh, Zabuza has that. He has a lot of other bootlegs as well.

There was a store in the mall around here that sold a lot of bootleg claiming it was real. All of the DVDs' boxes were discolored, they had mostly Chinese writing on them, and they were all "the complete" series sets, on 3 or 4 discs.

Uh-huh.
